Is fingerprinting required for a CPL renewal in Washington State?

  1. Yes, for every renewal

  2. No, not for renewals

  3. Yes, but only for the first renewal

  4. Fingerprinting is not required at all

The correct answer is: No, not for renewals

In Washington State, fingerprinting is not required for the renewal of a Concealed Pistol License (CPL). This means that when it comes time to renew your CPL, you can do so without having to submit new fingerprints. This policy is designed to simplify the renewal process, making it less burdensome for those who are already licensed. Applicants are still required to provide a completed renewal application and any necessary identification, but the absence of a fingerprinting requirement streamlines the process considerably compared to what is required for a first-time application. Therefore, the understanding that renewals do not necessitate fingerprinting aligns with current regulations in Washington State.
